The FATF fllisted The Bahamas (along with numerous other ?offshore' centres) pending changes to its anti-money laundering regime, and the FSF gave the country its lowest ranking for its regulatory oversight.
In fact, with its new legislation The Bahamas is a "major contributor to the world's agenda of cracking down on money laundering and beginning to tackle the concerns about terrorism," says Warren, referring in part to a terrorism bill due to be passed into law in 2003, as required by the IMF.
